Nano-silver composites with a thermoplastic polyurethane as the matrix were prepared by two different routes. Using the so-called in situ preparation, silver nanoparticles were obtained by a thermal reduction of silver acetate during melt mixing. In addition, a more sophisticated ex situpreparation method was develope…

The increase in hydrogen back pressure unexpectedly enhances the overall dehydrogenation reaction rate of the 4LiBH(4) + YH(3) composite significantly. Also, argon back pressure has a similar influence on the composite. Gas back pressure seems to enhance the dehydrogenation reaction by kinetically suppressing the form…

Co-dispersion of native cellulose and single walled carbon nanotubes in water is demonstrated. The pH of the water should be between 6 and 10 for better dispersion. Raman spectra confirm debundling of nanotubes in water and FTIR spectra reveal that the co-solubility is likely caused through disruption of intramolecula…

A class of potential multi-chromic (19)F imaging tracers is made by pairing metal ions with a fluorinated chelator. All fluorinated metal chelates emit a single (19)F signal. Paramagnetic metal ions shifted the (19)F signal frequency and made the (19)F relaxation rates insensitive toward local chemical environment.
